Heck yeah! Fits perfectly!! 👏🏻👏🏻 #knitting #fleegleheel #sockknitting #socks
#knitting I’ve ripped this back multiple times & I’m ready to try a different heel than the one in this pattern. What are your favorite no-wrap heels?? Thank you all kindly 🥰
Before my daughter was born I knit her a round baby blanket (which she now has tacked to her bedroom ceiling as decor ☺️). A few days ago that baby turned 18! Well of course my “baby” still needs a knit blanket from mom to keep her warm wherever she goes. #knitting /1
Artsy shot. It’s a gorgeous spring day up here in the left corner😍🌲
When the tenant next to us moved out, he left his flimsy chicken coop behind. We broke it down & made this chicken tractor for our girls ☺️ All we had to buy were the wheels. Love a cheap project!!! #chickens #backyardchickens #chickentractor
Got started on the 2nd sock today. If you haven’t tried Judy’s magic cast on for socks, I highly recommend it!
Done! Pretty easy & I’m glad to know the process. Of course I found a dropped stitch up near my ribbing so I have to rip that out & redo it, but hey! That’s knitting! Maka slept through the whole process, obviously 😹
Fun with needles: trying a new “scary” #knitting technique, the afterthought sock heel! I originally knit a short row heel & hated both the execution & the result. Wish me luck! 😁🧦 #knitsky #sockknitting
Here in zone 8b it’s time to start tomatoes & peppers 🌶️🫑🌶️🫑🌶️🫑🍅🍅🍅🍅 💃
My babies are loving their big girl coop & run! 🥰🐥🐥🐥🐥 #timelineckeanse #chickens #chickensky
2nd trip outside 🐥 🐥🐥🐥 Many peeps. Much excite! #chickens #springchickens #chickensky
It’s bloom time for my favorite flower, Hellebores, the Lenten Rose #flowers #gardening #flowersky #hellebores 😍
First time outside—they’re a little gobsmacked 🤭 lasted about 15 mins & then started getting chilly. Back inside under the light but with a new mossy branch to roost on & very excited! #chickensky #chickens
My view as I lie in bed next to my partner (who did not get a flu vaccine) while he recovers from the flu. Get your shots, boys! #caturday #vaccinessavelives
Rooster. I’ll bet money. The other 3 are fast asleep and this one is up & giving me the 👁️ like I’m scheming on his ladies 🤭 #chickens #chickensofbluesky
Meowcifer’s current fav pastime 😻🐥 I’m excited to have chickens again. I’ve missed having them this past year after my last flock was taken out by raccoons (and no I’m not leaving Meowsy unattended😉). #catsofbluesky #chickens #cats #chickensofbluesky
So today I had to fill some prescriptions without insurance. The pharmacy gave me a magical discount card. With insurance last month the meds were $15. This month without insurance + this card, they were $39. I can live with that, but here’s what I can’t understand… wtf? Just how???
As a 58 yo woman, I am so heartened to see Claire Danes acting with a completely natural, unaltered face. Honesty in aging is like a breathe of fresh air!!! ❤️
Lil walk in the woods today to shake out the cobwebs— mushrooms everywhere! 😍 🍄🍄🟫 #mushrooms #pnw #fall #mushies
